Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, folks, we're back on the Ring magazine presented
by the Way concept. That's not the right way, it's
the other way. But we're back. And yeah, I I
don't know if I have words. No, I do have
I have a lot of words. But folks were actually
getting this shit. We are getting Mike Tyson versus Floyd Mayweather.
We talked about this a couple of months ago as
it was announced that those two were going to fight.
(00:21):
For some reason. We just saw Mike Tyson look like
he could barely walk in the Jake Paul fight, and
the highlight of the night was watching Mike Tyson walk
around cheeks out in the locker room and his bare
ass being shown to hundreds of millions of people on Netflix.
That was the highlight of the night. It wasn't the fight.
It wasn't watching Mike barely be able to move and
(00:43):
lose all explosivity and do exactly what I thought he
would do at fifty eight years old. So that should
have been the final straw for Mike Tyson. That should
have been the one that goes, you know what, this
is not working out. I damn near he had apparently
damn near died of an ulcer or something like that
in training for the J. Paul fight. He will be
sixty years old by the time this happens. On the
(01:04):
other side of things, you got Floyd rocking the freaking
pube cut. I'm sorry, it looks like he is found
a way to glue pubes onto his head and make
an actual hairline that he never had beforehand. And we
know that Floyd's in deep shit right now because he
is suing al Haman and Showtime for three hundred and
forty million dollars. So it's understandable why Floyd is doing this.
(01:25):
And Floyd has done exhibition after exhibition to the point
where he's tarnished his drawing power in boxing. But we're
going to talk about all this. Let's get started. What
the fuck is going on? Does anyone even give a
shit about this? Or is it just flat out sad
I said on Twitter, get ready for a night of
embarrassing tendonitis and joint a after all that we've seen
(01:46):
from these two great fighters, because it's going to be
an absolute mess. But let's talk about it the breakdown.
Let's go all right, So, like I said, this is
from the Ring magazine and Mike Coppinger, who broke this story.
The Mike Tyson Floyd Mayweather exhibition is tentatively set to
take place on April twenty fifth in the Congo. Sources
have told Mike Coppinger, So, they got somebody in the
(02:08):
Congo to say yes to this. I guess this is
not Rumbling the jungle. This is stumble and bungle man.
This is not so. Yeah, apparently this is happening, and
apparently it's in the Congo. And not only that, but
apparently they have a date as well, because it's going
to be on April twenty fifth, sources tell Mike Coppinger. So.
And in otherwise packed month of boxing, we have Derek
(02:31):
Chazora versus Deontay Wilder on the fourth, we have Tyson
Fury on the eleventh. Now we have Mike Tyson Floyd Mayweather.
Now again, I don't mind if either guy gets paid. Again,
we talk about Mike and his past financial issues. I
hope that that's not the same thing going on with
him now. Even though who knows how this man spends
his money. He made a shit ton of money to
fight Jake Paul, and good for him. His name value
(02:53):
carried that fight and it did a crazy number. I'm
sure he'll make a crazy number here, but Floyd Mayweather
is the one that seems like he needs the money
more right now. Our guy Andreas Hale wrote a story
that has kind of went somewhat viral. That's crazy to
laugh faces. Although Floyd Mayweather Junior made hundreds of millions
of dollars from his professional boxing career in top the
Forbes list as the highest paid athlete from twenty twelve
(03:15):
to twenty fourteen, the boxer is said to have been
short changed and filed a multimillion dollar lawsuit against Showtime.
The lawsuit, filed Thursday excuse me Tuesday, and obtained by ESPN,
seeks to recover hundreds of millions of dollars, misappropriated funds
and damages resulting from a long running and elaborate scheme
of financial fraud, breaches in fiduciary duty, and conspiracy orchestrated
(03:36):
by Floyd J. Mayweather's former manager and advisor, Al Hayman,
with the knowing and substantial participation and aid of defendant
Showtime Networks and Steven Spinoza. Mayweather, who's forty eight, says
he is owed at least three hundred and forty million
dollars and cites a complex web of hidden accounts, unauthorized transactions,
and deliberate concealment of financial records as the reason he
(04:00):
believes he's been defrauded from those funds. Hayman is not
named as a defendant in the complaint, which is interesting
because I misspoken said he sued al Haman. He's essentially
saying that Showtime in al Haman colluded to not pay
him with Steven Espinoza. But then he doesn't name Hayman
in the suit. Very odd. Anyway, it's a mess. And
for those people that always thought that Floyd Mayweather had
(04:20):
financial troubles because of the money he owed to the irs,
because of the terrible, terrible business and you know, real
estate investments that he's made, and apparently some of these
have gone under and he is owed back rent or
he is owing back rent, and he is delinquent on
a lot of payments for a lot of different things.
Right now, these things seem to have added up for Floyd,
(04:41):
and now it's pretty apparent that not only is he
doing these you know, bank robbery style exhibitions, but it
looks like he absolutely needs to do it, which is very,
very sad. Listen, I'm not the biggest fan of Floyd
Mayweather as an individual outside of the ring, but I
never want to see athletes have their money mismanaged or
mismanage their own money so badly that they go broke
in retirement. And it looks like it looks like that's
(05:03):
kind of what's happening. And here's a snippet from Business
Insider because it made me want to pay for the
entire article. Business Insider is reporting that Floyd Mayweather could
be facing money trouble sighting and estimated fifty four million
dollars in debt, property foreclosures, multiple lawsuits piling up. This
attorney strongly denies as any kind of financial distress, but
the headlines aren't slowing down. Fifty four million alleged dollars
(05:24):
in debt, so it makes sense why they would want
to do this, and it's strictly for money. Let's be honest.
This is a clear money grab. But this is going
to be a terrible fight. This is not going to
be a fight that anyone outside of watching Mike Tyson
walk to the ring and the idea that maybe he'll
knock out the little guy and Floyd that Tyson for
a long time didn't like. You know, for a long
time called Floyd a small little angry man or a
(05:46):
small little scared man because he couldn't walk his kids
to school by himself. Mainly because Floyd had I don't
know what. Yeah, he kind of disrespected Muhammad Ali, who
was Mike Tyson's favorite fighter and one that he would
never put himself above. But Mike's sixty years old and
if there there was a time for Mike to get
him and knock him out or whatever, it never would
have happened because they were in completely different weight classes.
(06:06):
And XYZ, if you wanted to settle it outside of boxing,
that's one thing. But now they're stepping into this exhibition.
There's not going to be any weight classes obviously, and
there's not going to be really any winner to this,
and I think we're all going to lose. I think us,
the fans are going to lose a big time because
again I told you guys years ago that there is
a certain brand of combat sports that does diminish fighters
(06:29):
of the past, and it's the crossover scen Listen, I'm
a part of it. I've been a part of it
for my entire existence on YouTube. But I can still
stand here and tell you that there are certain fights
that just shouldn't happen. If Ander Holyfield should not have
been fighting v tor belfour on whatever, that Triad promotion
was on Triller and he looked awful because he was
in his sixties, and V Tour got to say he
knocked down and knocked out Evander Holyfield, And everybody knows
(06:53):
that in Evander Holyfield's prime he would have done work
to v tor Bell for in boxing. Same with this
right here. This never would have been a prime for
prime matchup. It would have made no sense to have happened.
But if it did, Mike Tyson at two hundred and
fifteen pounds, should he land at all on Floyd Mayweather
was going to send him to a different stratosphere. Now again,
(07:13):
we understand the reasoning behind this, and I want both
guys to get paid, but this is just going to
be sad. And this is why I said, sometimes you
need to preserve your legacy, and I know Floyd's's legacy.
Don't pay my bills, and clearly he's got a lot
to pay. Maybe the same with Mike. But there's a
certain portion of the population that's going to look at
these two and think, what, this was the greatest heavyweight
of an era. This was the greatest boxer ever in
(07:34):
Floyd Mayweather, that's the guy. Both of them have trouble move.
I mean, Floyd still can move around, Floyd's still fluid,
but Mike can barely move. Floyd is not obviously anywhere
close to what Floyd was, and it's probably going to
be Floyd dancing on Mike the entire time to a
weird little like sparring session decision exhibition ending thing right
where they both get their hands raised, no one gets touched.
(07:56):
Then he's sort of violence or anything, and we leave going, Yeah,
that was super embarrassing. I just either wasted my money
or wasted my time. But hey, good for Mike and
Floyd that they got paid, you know what I mean, Like,
we're just they're asking us to watch a boxing match.
We're gonna go watch some sort of attempt to perform,
but it won't be anything close to what we want.
(08:16):
So yeah, man, I just think it's sad. I think
it's embarrassing for Floyd, mainly that he needs to keep
doing this, and maybe a little bit for Mike. I
just feel I feel more bad for Mike than anything.
I feel a little bit more embarrassed for Floyd after
flexing all that money for years and years to have
to come back and the taxman needs his twenty mil
and the debt collectors need their fifty mil. And now
he's in a lawsuit with Showtime because it's clearly becoming
(08:39):
a financial issue. With Floyd, that's an embarrassing thing for him.
But maybe the same with Mike. It's just more sad,
like you look at Mike like, damn, dude, this is
what we have to do. Still this and apparently Mike
did an interview a couple of days ago with someone
at TMZ Sports. So let's take a look at this,
which again it's probably gonna be super sad.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Welcome to TMZ Sports, this open mic on Mike Babcock.
On the other side of the mic, we've got the
great Mike Tyson.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Dude, say Mike one more time, Mike Badcock? Is that
what he called himself? Look at Mike's face, dude, he
looks like if you punched him one more time, he
turned a dust.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
O Bausally, we were excited about you and Floyd. Is
that still happening or is that.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Uh yeah, yeah, you think I give that up. I
was minding my business. He challenged me.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
You look good, how you're feeling physically incredible? You've been training?
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Listen, I was warning the extra loge, it looks like
I'm wear large.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Now looking good man still looking scary.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Okay. So that was literally the only answer we got.
That he's looking good and that he used to wear
an extra large and now he's wearing large. He does
look like he has lost some weight. I guess there's
something there. And Mike was always a physical freakazoid. That
made no sense. It made no sense how he looked
coming up to the Jake Paul fight. He had abs again,
which was crazy at fifty eight turning fifty nine. Man,
if I have a portion of that still left at
(10:04):
that age, then fair play to him. But yeah, man,
this is sad. I don't have any other words other
than just this is disappointing. It's I mean, it speaks
to the real problem in single athlete sports and really
all sports, if you're mismanaging your money. And listen, there's
a lot of money in boxing right now. And there
was a lot of money in boxing when Mike Tyson
was great, and there was a lot of money in
boxing when Floyd was great. But if you don't have
(10:25):
the right people around you, if you have people you
can't trust, and it shows how how scummy this business
has been for a very long time. The Don King
robbery of Mike Tyson, apparently allegedly Floyd is saying Showtime
and al Haman have done the same to him. We'll
see how true that is. But if you're out here
mismanaging your money or people are mismanaging and stealing your money,
I don't want to say you have yourself to blame
(10:47):
because not necessarily the fighter's fault. Ever, they need to
be educated, which is why I think if you do
have some of these sanctioning bodies taking percentages, then there
needs to be just like the UFC does with their fighters,
there needs to be a business management course every single
year at some of these meetups at the WBA, WBC.
There needs to be a couple of times a year
where fighters if they're going to come and come to
(11:08):
these you know, three day weekends for these sanctioning bodies
to put on these events, and they speak. There needs
to be some sort of of seminar on how to,
you know, find the right person to help them with
their taxes, how to say for retirement, how to put
things away in a trust or or a will or
life insurance and investing their money into proper places, and
(11:28):
just all the stuff that fighters have no idea how
to do versus spend it on stuff that doesn't matter
and watching it go by the wayside when the taxman
comes calling. This is what I'm calling this fight, the
taxman fight. This is the I need money fight. This
is the fight to pay Uncle Sam and not fighting
for Uncle Sam. I just I don't know, man, I'm
making jokes, but it is kind of it's not even
(11:50):
kind of. It's super disappointing that two legends of the
sport have to do this. Still. I said it in
the Jake Paul Mike Tyson fight. I'll say it here.
You can't put lipstick on a pig with these two. Especially.
We know what we get from Mike, we know what
we get from Floyd. This is going to be absolutely nothing,
like We're gonna sit here and watch nothing, And yeah,
I'm gonna watch it for sure. I'm gonna cover it
(12:12):
if it's just for the sole reason of saying, yeah,
this is not what we need in highlighting what can't
happen to this new generation of fighters that are getting
paid very well, they don't manage their money properly. It's embarrassing.
It is a sign of the times. And all I
hope is that both guys come out okay and no
one's seriously injured in training, in or the fight, and
they make as much money as they can, because Floyd
(12:33):
definitely needs it, Mike seems like he needs it, and
I wish him both the best. But yeah, I can't
believe we're still doing this. I can't believe this fight
is still on. And prepare yourselves, drink your meta mucile,
get the freaking icy hot out, and get ready to
read a bedtime story because the old men are fighting
and it's probably ruining their legacies. But legacy, I guess,
(12:54):
doesn't feed them or pay for their families, or their
life insurance or their retirements, and they seem to not
have done that before, so they need to do it now.
What happens on April twenty fifth in the Congo, the
stumble and bungle between Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather. I
have no idea. I show both guys are okay to
get paid. I guess we'll find out
All right, folks, we're back on the Ring magazine presented
by the Way concept. That's not the right way, it's
the other way. But we're back. And yeah, I I
don't know if I have words. No, I do have
I have a lot of words. But folks were actually
getting this shit. We are getting Mike Tyson versus Floyd Mayweather.
We talked about this a couple of months ago as

was great, and there was a lot of money in
boxing when Floyd was great. But if you don't have
(10:25):
the right people around you, if you have people you
can't trust, and it shows how how scummy this business
has been for a very long time. The Don King
robbery of Mike Tyson, apparently allegedly Floyd is saying Showtime
and al Haman have done the same to him. We'll
see how true that is. But if you're out here
mismanaging your money or people are mismanaging and stealing your money,
I don't want to say you have yourself to blame
(10:47):
because not necessarily the fighter's fault. Ever, they need to
be educated, which is why I think if you do
have some of these sanctioning bodies taking percentages, then there
needs to be just like the UFC does with their fighters,
there needs to be a business management course every single
year at some of these meetups at the WBA, WBC.
There needs to be a couple of times a year
where fighters if they're going to come and come to
(11:08):
these you know, three day weekends for these sanctioning bodies
to put on these events, and they speak. There needs
to be some sort of of seminar on how to,
you know, find the right person to help them with
their taxes, how to say for retirement, how to put
things away in a trust or or a will or
life insurance and investing their money into proper places, and
(11:28):
just all the stuff that fighters have no idea how
to do versus spend it on stuff that doesn't matter
and watching it go by the wayside when the taxman
comes calling. This is what I'm calling this fight, the
taxman fight. This is the I need money fight. This
is the fight to pay Uncle Sam and not fighting
for Uncle Sam. I just I don't know, man, I'm
making jokes, but it is kind of it's not even
(11:50):
kind of. It's super disappointing that two legends of the
sport have to do this. Still. I said it in
the Jake Paul Mike Tyson fight. I'll say it here.
You can't put lipstick on a pig with these two. Especially.
We know what we get from Mike, we know what
we get from Floyd. This is going to be absolutely nothing,
like We're gonna sit here and watch nothing, And yeah,
I'm gonna watch it for sure. I'm gonna cover it
(12:12):
if it's just for the sole reason of saying, yeah,
this is not what we need in highlighting what can't
happen to this new generation of fighters that are getting
paid very well, they don't manage their money properly. It's embarrassing.
It is a sign of the times. And all I
hope is that both guys come out okay and no
one's seriously injured in training, in or the fight, and
they make as much money as they can, because Floyd
(12:33):
definitely needs it, Mike seems like he needs it, and
I wish him both the best. But yeah, I can't
believe we're still doing this. I can't believe this fight
is still on. And prepare yourselves, drink your meta mucile,
get the freaking icy hot out, and get ready to
read a bedtime story because the old men are fighting
and it's probably ruining their legacies. But legacy, I guess,
(12:54):
doesn't feed them or pay for their families, or their
life insurance or their retirements, and they seem to not
have done that before, so they need to do it now.
What happens on April twenty fifth in the Congo, the
stumble and bungle between Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather. I
have no idea. I show both guys are okay to
get paid. I guess we'll find out
